Ya, I also had a system that ran many OS's great, including Linux, Win98,
Win2k, etc. However when I went to install NT on it, the CPU overheated

I have a very similar problem. I am running test10-pre5 (x86). I can accept
uploaded FTP all day long, but when downloading from me, my network dies in
very short order. This was a windows box that was killing me (both ME and
2000). These are about 100 2-4 meg files that I'm talking about. I

I have this problem also. I am running vesafb and X4.01 w/ a voodoo3500.
Switching to a vc sometimes gives you black text (hiliting w/ mouse fixes it) and
alternating green and red pixels across the top of the screen.

Why not have the /proc/config option but instead of being plain text,
make it binary with a userspace app that can interpret it?
It could have a signature as to kernel version + patches and the rest
would be just bits.
Instead of:
CONFIG_X86=y
CONFIG_ISA=y
# CONFIG_SBUS is not set
CONFIG_UID1
What do people think about this?

You are probably talking about an Xfree issue. And yes it can be done. I
know several people that do that. Refer to the XFree86 website.
